Green tips for travellers

We are not stopping travelling, that is a fact, but here are a few steps we can all take to minimize the impact our wanderlust can have on the environment. They are split into actions you can take before and while you travel. Feedback to the hostels and other suppliers while you are there and after you get home is also very important and welcome. If you have ideas or comments regarding sustainability please don’t hesitate to contact HI Iceland and share your thoughts. It helps us to become better - for everybody's sake.
